First Christmas Band Concert

We attended our first Christmas band concert for Erica. She is playing clarinet and it is so fun to watch her. I keep having flashbacks of when I played. She is really enjoying the band and is very good at it. She was given this book and playing with first year students - 5th and some 6th graders. In order to move up with second year students which are all 6th graders, the book must be completed. Well, she finished the book in 2 1/2 months!!! And they asked her to stand and be recognized because apparantly that is not something that happens very often. So she has amazingly picked up this instrument and run with it! We were so proud of her accomplishment. When she stood, her face was five shades red! I thought she was going to just die right there!!! But it was really cute. And Erica's friend, Madison, played as well. They did such a great job!!!!
